Orphan - How to Screw a Movie Over With a Really Bad Trailer

by t13monkeys t13monkeys is a Top Reviewer on Epinions in Movies, Epinions Most Popular Authors - Top 500, Oct 20 '09
Pros: Isabelle Fuhrman, interesting movie concept, good pacing/directing
Cons: bad trailer, some ridiculous scenes
“That was the stupidest thing I’ve seen,” was what I uttered to the person sitting next to me after watching the trailer.  And that’s the saddest thing about movies- marketing works- Orphan, as it turns out, is not the total ...

When Children Go Bad

by countess_eva countess_eva is a Top Reviewer on Epinions in Movies, , Aug 10 '09
Pros: chilling atmosphere, wonderful acting, shocking revelation
Cons: Somewhat formulaic end fight
To kick off our very last in-theater movie before the dreaded beginning of the semester, my boyfriend and I attended The Orphan thinking more about the Longhorn Steakhouse across the road (and potential ice cream sundae for dessert) than ...

Hell Hath No Fury Like ...

by topreviewerman , Sep 21 '09
Pros: Sympathetic portrayal of dysfunctional family, physical handicap, and adoption.
Cons: Scary portrayal of mental handicap, blind bureaucracy, and adoption.
This is one twisted movie. I could end my review here and not leave anything out. My reader will know twisted when he sees it. What I'd like to do, though, is rehabilitate Orphan for the sake of the international adoption community who were ...

Three Things Most Annoying

by arguablysamson , Aug 03 '09
Pros: A few shockingly creepy moments.
Cons: Subpar acting, cliched to the core.
The movie Orphan looked to be a spellbinding work. The tagline is: “There’s something wrong with Esther.” Woo, how maniacally enticing! But never judge a book (or movie) by its cover (or trailer). That being said, ...

Insultingly Moronic

by KingYak , Jul 26 '09
Pros: Some good acting form the kids.
Cons: Dumbest plot twist in the history of plot twists.
I usually try to avoid giving away major plot twists when I review movies, but in the case of Orphan I must make an exception. Only by revealing the major plot twist of the film is it possible for me to fully convey the unbelievable, insulting ...
